EM31 Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 We just got our bell rung. What could possibly go wrong if we get back in there on the next series? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defense Wins Championships Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 After the injury to Carl Lawson me and my daughter went to shoot some hoops and I immediately shook it off on the basketball court. We've still got a lot to be fired up for as Jets fans heading into 2021 aka the year of our Quarterback. And if we didn't allow Adam Gase to make us quit then Lawson's injury shouldn't ruin our fan base either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near the success rate of ACL tears which are commonplace. Seriously? I think most of those studies are pretty old. There is always a chance things will go sideways, but off the top of my head, plenty of guys had big years after rupturing their Achilles - Brent Grimes, Demaryius Thomas, Jason Peters. Corey Peters, Leon Hall did both and still had some years. I get the concern, but it is not exactly a death sentence. I think most of the bad news was for RB and LB. Are we considering Lawson an LB for this exercise? I don't and I think the RB suffer because teams are so quick to move on from them. We will see if Cam Akers and/or Marlon Mack make solid comebacks.

Lots of intriguing potential and seems like he’ll work his tail off to get the spot. If nothing else, this depressing injury gives the young guys a great opportunity to step in and make a big impact right away. I am hoping for the 2 guys last year drafted and un-drafted in Huff basically taking on Lawson's role and Zuniga getting more into helping the D pass rush since he has struggled up to this point, but maybe now this will motivate him to fight harder in Lawson's absence to not only make the team, but contribute in some semblance of a role on the Dline.

David Harris Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 You gotta view this through the lens of a Jets fan and how having our best player tear his Achilles is a GOOD thing in the 5 year plan (which is the plan after the last 5 year plan but before the next 5 year plan). Zach is a rookie and will have some struggles. This doesn't directly impact his protection as it would if it were Mekhi to go down (even though apparently he stinks now) soooooo, with Lawson out we may lose an extra game or two this year which will improve the only thing we've cared about the past decade which is draft position. In 2022 we'll have Zach seasoned, Lawson back (if he ever plays football again) PLUS a HIGHER DRAFT PICK!!!

Let's see how Becton and the entire offense responds - Finally it will be interesting to see how Saleh steers a young team through its first crisis if this doesn't motivate zuniga or get him to finally take the next step, nothing will. he has every opportunity to make the team at this point.

I dont see any reason to keep Shepphard. Yes hes a good rotational player and will be picked up immediately but Marshall is cheaper and has more upside.

He made the most of his playing time last Saturday and showed a nice initial first step. I’m sure as hell more intrigued by him than a guy like Zuniga. Zuniga is awful, Bryce Huff is the Edge. Zuniga will be lucky to make the practice squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
